Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said he is open to reconciliation with his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in pursuit of his ambition of becoming President in 2019.
This development was disclosed by Atiku’s Media Adviser, Mr. Paul Ibe, when he spoke on behalf of his principal in Abuja on Sunday.
He said Alhaji Atiku, whom he described as a master of consensus building, would not discountenance the importance of carrying everyone along.
Atiku’s stance follows the advice by the immediate past President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
Jonathan had in an interview advised Atiku to seek reconciliation with ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo if his dream of becoming President must be realized.
Jonathan had described Obasanjo as “the boss of bosses.”
Ibe said: “His Excellency, former Vice -President Atiku Abubakar, is a savvy politician and he will not discountenance the importance of carrying everybody along, in order to build a consensus.”
